The Scottish Economy Introduction This is a report by me to describe different aspects of the Scottish economy and to describe what a mixed market economy is using material and statistics. There will be four aspect of the Scottish economy covered in this report which are unemployment, tourism, growth, ant the National Health Service. Features of Scotland’s economy The reason Scotland has got a mixed economy is because it has both privately owned businesses and government owned businesses. This gives people more choice for services like health care and schools giving people more choice if they have extra money to spend on privately owned organisations. Publicly owned schools and the National Health Service are funded by the tax payer and national insurance contributions.
This led to parents having more power as consumers. Miriam Davies describes this parental choice agenda as ‘parentocracy’ because power has been moved away from the producers (teachers/school) to the consumers (parents). She claimed that this encourages diversity among schools, gives parents more choice and drives up standards. Parents were now able to influence the education of their children. Not only were league tables published, but formula funding was introduced.
The introduction of contraception has led to couples having smaller families, therefore meaning that children now tend to receive more attention from their parents. Similarly, parents are also able to care for their children better due to the introduction of the welfare state and child benefits. Climbie’s case and ‘Every Child Matters’ has led to the improvement of social services and child protection, meaning childhood is much safer now than it was 50 years ago. Children are also in better health due to the NHS, meaning more children survive childhood now than ever before. All children can now receive state education up until the age of 18, meaning they are better educated and can achieve much higher in adulthood, whilst experiencing a longer period of youth.
WIC has also repeatedly shown to return well- every dollar spent on WIC reduces health care and other costs between 1.77 and 3.50. Why cancel a program that aids women and children at a critical time? This program provides for a healthier society in struggling communities. If it were continued, there would be less health complications and mothers could work after having their children, not hurting the work force. WIC is a program that should be continued: not only does it help women and their children, its goal is to help, aid, and foster a healthy society that would otherwise
A.1.a. Pre-K Strengths Because of the ever changing demographics in our system this can be very beneficial and has some great advantages with our program. With more non-English speaking children coming into our system this is encouraging our teachers to learn another language. In return it is helping with the language barrier we are facing in our current days. Our system could also look into hiring more teachers with the added benefit of speaking multiple languages and creating more jobs in our area.
How does inflation affect money's ability to store value? (3-6 sentences. 2.0 points) 5. Imagine that you are considering moving to a new country and looking for a job there, but you first want to make sure the country has a strong economy. Describe at least three economic factors that you would want to research as evidence of the economy's strength or weakness, and explain how each factor would affect your decision to move there.
Inflation is when the value of money goes down, so that you can’t get as much for your money as you could in the past. If inflation is increasing, which means the value of money is going down; it may make more sense to invest the money in investments that are likely to increase in value. 5.

Equal opportunities policies In recent years there has been an emphasis on equal opportunities in schools. Policies like GIST (girls in science and technology) and WISE (women into science and engineering), aimed to encourage girls into areas that were traditionally seen as ‘male areas’. The introduction of the national curriculum in the 1988 Education Reform Act, also made it possible for everyone to study the same compulsory subjects. Positive role models in schools In recent years there has been an increase in the proportion of women occupying the role of Head teacher. These can act as positive role models for girls and something to strive for and to see other roles for them that are different from the housewife role.
• Our lifestyle has led to our getting less exercise and an epidemic of obesity. There is some evidence to suggest an association between obesity and asthma.’ The first point made by this website is quite fascinating. Simply, it means that because we are a lot cleaner in the 21st century, our immune systems become more sensitive and become used to clean environments. But when our systems come into contact with allergens and other triggers there is a reaction and you get symptoms.
